*Ping* Ira
I included the 1880-S Morgan I bought from you in a group of coins I
submitted to PCGS to be graded. You had estimated MS64. It came back (drum roll) MS65. I thought it would. You probably did, too, but didn't want to overstate it. (For the rest of the group - this coin was part of a collection that Ira had bought.) I also submitted some 1890-O and 1880-O. Nothing special. The 90's came back MS63 (what I expected) and the 80 came back AU58 -- surprised me. I expected a MS63/64. I'm glad no one bought this when I tried to sell it on eBay. I said it as MS62/63. It shows sellers can be wrong, even when they are trying to be honest. Anita |

nice job, a. I guess this means that the Pt members *do* still get regular service, instead of economy. PCGS received the coins on March 13 -- about 3 weeks. Not bad. Anita |

He once Sold me an 1891-CC Morgan that he thought was a SOLID MS61 with an outside shot at MS62. I submitted it to PCGS and it came back MS63!!! I was quite happy!! Gary |

Whenever I sell raw coins, which is not often, I try to be conservative so that no one is disappointed. Torina Cobra (Gary) bought a CC dollar from me out of that same collection and he also got a point higher than I had described it. I like stories like that! Ira DANG! Ira beat me to it!! Gary |
